Colby raised storage areas

Colby raised storage areas can increase the usable floor area of factories and distribution centres, subject to regulatory approval.

Strong and secure, the storage areas provide access to unused overhead work areas with minimal interruption to ground level workflow. Medium-duty floors can be easily assembled using standard Colby pallet racking components to build raised storage areas that are designed for bulk storage or additional order picking.

Colby’s range of powered and gravity conveyors can turn a raised storage area into a more efficient and safer workspace. Conveyors may add value to overhead workspace by transporting goods from the raised storage area to the ground level for order processing or to replenish stock on the upper level. This is accomplished by using a reversible conveyor that allows product to be moved up and down.

In addition to creating extra space, employee safety may also be improved. Operator exposure to heavy lifting and the associated risks of carrying bulky goods up and down stairways is reduced.

Colby conveyors can easily be integrated into existing raised storage areas.
